BAN5059002 - Bandai HGBD:R 1/144 Jupitive Gundam

The Bandai HG 1/144 Jupitive Gundam (5059002) is a High Grade model kit from Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, featuring the upgraded Core Gundam used by the main protagonist in its Jupiter Armor configuration. This unit represents a more advanced, space-combat–focused evolution of the Core Gundam system, combining mobility, ranged firepower, and modular transformation ability.

This kit uses Bandai’s snap-fit assembly system, allowing for an easy build with no glue or paint required. The parts are molded in color-separated plastic, accurately recreating the white, blue, and yellow accents of the Jupitive Gundam straight out of the box. The design reflects a clean, futuristic aesthetic with smooth armor panels and a lightweight silhouette.

A key feature of the Jupitive Gundam is its Core Change System, which allows the Core Gundam to combine with the Jupiter Armor to form its full upgraded mode. The armor can also be separated and reconfigured, giving it multiple display and play options.

It is equipped with a strong ranged combat loadout, including a beam gatling gun, beam rifle, beam sabers, and effect parts for dynamic battle posing. The backpack unit also features remote weapon bits (funnel-style units) that can detach and be displayed in mid-air using the included stand, enhancing its visual impact.

One of its standout design ideas is versatility: the armor can switch between normal mode and high-speed mode, changing the silhouette and emphasizing either stability or mobility depending on the configuration. This makes it one of the more flexible entries in the Core Gundam “planet system.”

The articulation is strong for a modern HG kit, allowing wide posing range for aerial stances, weapon deployment poses, and action-heavy display setups. The lightweight Core Gundam frame also improves balance when the armor is attached.

The Bandai HG Jupitive Gundam is an excellent choice for fans of Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE or collectors who enjoy modular, upgrade-based Gunpla systems. It stands out for its clean design, funnel weapon gimmicks, and strong customization potential within the Core Gundam lineup.
